Job Activity pane should be updated automatically every 30 seconds or so (depends on DB / # of jobs)
try F5 first then View.. refresh all data
I have seen what you descibe a few times
When in doubt I do a file... New Console, then close the one that is not working (usually does the trick)
You can also find a bit of help in the help
View Menu..
Save Desktop <-- when you get it working
Save on Exit <-- usually I uncheck this when the client acts flaky
Restore Desktop <-- could recover desktop to last save settings
you may have to terminate your saclient.exe running on your desktop (Task Manager) then restart it.
